I Taking Tanlac.
"This Is the first medicine I have
«ver taken that really does what they
6ay it will," said J. F. Holley, a well
known Lexington, Ky„ man.
**I hadn't felt like a well man for
ten weeks and my whole system
6eemed to be rundown and debilitated.
I couldn't sleep at night and my diges
tion was so bud I couldn't eat. At
tacks of headache were frequent and
my nervous system seemed to be dis
ordere<j. My worst trouble was rheu
matism. My muscles seemed to he tied
In knots. I couldn't use my right aim
and I was Just about helpless. Some
body persuaded me to try Tanlac and
I got a bottle of that medicine.
"Tanlac certainly Is making a new
man out of me. I can now eat and
sleep like I haven't been able t© do for
years. My rheumatism is all gone and
I feel strong and built up in every way.
I am a well man and I certainly thank
my friend who suggested my usifitg
Tanlac."
J. B. Woodward, another Lexington
man who resides at 256 Rand Avenue,
said: "I suffered from stomach trou
ble, rheumatism and neuralgia for
years, and before I took Tanlac I
couldn't raise my left hand to my head.
It had been that way for fully two
years."
"I have used Tanlac two or three
weeks and am like a new man. My
family and friends see the difference
and it is the actual truth. I take great
pleasure in recommending this medi
cine Tanlac."

When the first shipment of frozen

amazed to see him taking aim at the
wall with an egg.
"What the dickens are you doing?"
he nsked.
But the man let drive, the only re
sult being a slight dent in the wall.
The thing being explained to him,
he took a couple of eggs and put them
In his trousers pocket, intending to
startle his wife with them. Arriving
home, he waited till the family were
seated at dinner and then banged one
of the eggs at the new wallpaper.
But the smile quickly faded from his
face. The egg had thawed.

John D., Jr., Makes Princely Gift to New York
- I
N EW YORK.—When John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was a little boy and went t
horseback riding and carriage riding—for this was before the days of
motorcars up around the northern end of Manhattan island—he used t<> pull :
up his pony or have the coachman stop
C
Ay
the horses when he got to the top of a
high knoll not far from Dyckman
street and situated between Broadway
and the Hudson river, and he would
say to himself :
"This Is a view that everyone in
New York ought to see. And some
day I'm going to buy all this land
hereabouts and give It to the public
as a park, so that everyone may en
joy it."
!
j
j
j
I
I
j
j
;
i
j
I
j
j
!
J
\
He was right about the view, for I
from that knoll one may see far up the Hudson—even to the crest of Storm :
King mountain on a clear day—and away southward to the buy, and far east- j
ward to Long Island, and even to the Atlantic sweeping beyond that.
And now he has made good his boyhood resolve, for he lias made a
formal offer to New York city of 50-odd acres of ground in the Dyckmnn j
region for use ns a public park, provided the city will do certain tilings about
connecting it with a certain other public open space, that of Fort Washington
park, which lies to the southward along the river front.
Mr. Rockefeller purchased three large parcels of property last fall on the
far upper west side. The southernmost, and most valuable, was the estate
of C. K. G. Billings, the noted horseman. This contains a magnificent resi
dence as well as large stables, garages and a swimming pool. Next was what
is known as the Hays property, and above that the Shaefer land. This latter
property touches Dyckman street, at its northeast boundary.
The whole tract is about two-thirds of a mile long. At the time of the
sale it w-as estimated that the purchaser must have paid about $5,OCR),000, but
Mr. Rockefeller said: "The total price I paid was nothing like that. It was
within a few thousand dollars of $2,000.000."
Merry Youths "Planted" Bones to Make a Story
S T PAUL.—Whose skull? That Is the question. John Heller, chief o
police of Shakopee, Minn., would like to know this, for Heller is perplexed
perhaps even a trifle flabbergasted, by recent developments. In this town
where Heller has been exercising
rimnvr about
ms
&
t
"watchful waiting" for many moons,
there was found a few days ago a
leering skull and bones, all pointing to
death and constituting basis for an in
vestigation. From then on, according
to the best information available, the
disciple of Sherlock Holmes has fol
lowed his pursuit, stalking ancient
clues to fruitless end.
One day found him so busily en
gaged that an energetic telephone
central was unable to announce any
greater success than "we are trying to find him." Back of Charley Hart
mann's butcher shop the find was made by pedestrians.
Heller began work on the case immediately.
About the first thing he did was to take charge of the skull and bones,
and citizens said he turned them over to the coroner, Dr. H. W. Reiter.
Doctor Reiter declared : "I haven't got thorn," which lends ground to the |
belief that the skeleton, equipped with as many leg, arm, wrist and finger |
bones as it could pick up, has reassembled itself and is waiting for a night ;
propitious for a gambol on some tin roof.
Meantime, to keep history straight and to prevent oven the shadow of a 1
blot from falling on the police chief's record, it is declared that the skull was :
1 a human skull, but it came from a college cadaver.
As for the bones, they included five ribs of a cat, the thigh of a Plymouth !
Rock pullet, the loft foreleg of a dog and two vertebrae from a cow.
Ail were placed in the ground back of the butcher shop by jolly youths ;
who wanted to make a story.
And they made it.

Hasty Action Costs Hotel Management $2,500
P AWLING, N. Y.—Mrs. Saidee Disbrow Hurd, wife of Robert C. Hurd,
engaged in the real estate business, recently won a verdict of $2,500 in the
supreme court at Poughkeepsie in her action for $20,000 damages against the
Astor Hotel company, New York. The
action was tried before Justice Platt
\
iSf
A
suit of alleged humiliating treatment
the plaintiff received from the hotel
management after embracing her hus
band at the door of her room on the
evening of August 17 last.
Mrs. Hurd was at the hotel with
a woman friend. Her husband arrived
at the hotel, and coming upon him un
expectedly as she opened the door of j
her room she threw her arms about his j
neck and kissed him. He stepped inside the room for a minute and later j
emerged, going by way of the elevator to the first floor, but returned again, j
When they came out and walked down the corridor they were approached j
by David Mitchell Pepper, assistant manager of the hotel. Mrs. Hurd and i
her husband both testified that Mr. Pepper spoke scandalously to them !
and suggested that they depart before they could further compromise the j
staid "rep" of his hostelry by their bold acts.
When Mr. Hurd expostulated, according to the wife's testimony, Mr.
Pepper said:
"Well, if you are Mrs. Hurd and If he Is Mr. Hurd, that puts a different
face on the matter."
Mr. Pepper and the other witnesses for the hotel maintained that the in
vestigation was conducted in a courteous manner and denied that anything
was said that could be construed as a direct accusation of unbecoming
frivolities or that any reflection was cast upon either Mr, Hurd or Mrs. Hurd.

"Poison" Warning Effective as the Real Thing
K ANSAS CITY.—It was a nice garden Ernest A. Fuller had In the roar of
his home—so nice, the pedigreed dogs and cats of the neighborhood made
It a dally rendezvous, to the detriment and dilapidation of the sprouts therein,
and the impairment of Mr. Fuller's
amiability. So one day a week ago
he spent some ostentatious moments
in the garden and then went to the
front yard and put up a sign with big
red letters:
"Poison in this back yard. Look
out for your dogs and cats."
And the garden flourished and Mr.
Fuller beamed, hut the Persians and
the Spitzes languished indoors, and
such outdoor exercises as they got was
at the end of stout, short tethers.
A delegation of neighbors waited on Mr. Fuller. In substance, he is said
to have commended them to the fuct that in these crucial times of food
scarcity It behooves eacii and all to conserve the food supply.
CapL John Casey of the Flora avenue police stution, being consulted, sent
a patrolman to the Fuller home, in Mr. Fuller's absence.
Mrs. Fuller took down the sign. Then Mr. Fuller came home and put it
up again and betook himself to police headquarters, which referred him tc
John T. Mathis, assistant city counselor.
"There is a statute which prohibits putting poison around thus," quoth
11a this.
"Any statute against the sign?" Mr. Fuller demandai
"I can't recollect any," Mr. Mathis conceded.
**Xben that's all right," said Mr. Fuller. "There never was toy pclsoaf

Spinner of Yarns, Always More Re.

Others, Is Beaten at
His Own Game.
Sour John Marvin glanced out of the
! window of the shop where he was nmk
j ing an afternoon call. "Cy Pel ton is
j headed this way," he announced, "and
j I. will make a prediction. If anyone
I l|cre present ventures to speak of any
I tiling out of the ordinary that he has
j heard or read about. Cy will follow
j with something in the same line, only
a little more remnrknblo, that he lias

j far from this town. But Cy Pelton
I needn't flatter himself that he ever
j fools me. I have sense enough to
j know that he always makes up his

off the floor and hold it up to bis
mouth and drink out of the bunghole;
and he did it. P.ut after he laid the
barrel down again, lie spit every drop
of the liquor out of his mouth. That
goes to show how strong Mr. Lincoln
was in his arms and also how strong
temperance he was."
Uncle Noah would have continued,
but he made a fatal pause, and Cyrus
Pelton got the floor.
"I had an uncle, on my mother's
side." he said, "that I guess was full
as strong in his arms as ever Mr. Lin
coln was, and even stronger in tem
perance. He was a blacksmith in the
town of Industry.
"One time, when I was n small boy.
Hiram Quint, one of Uncle Life's near
neighbors, was building a big barn, and
he had asked a lot of men to the rais
| lng. .
"In those days almost everyone
j drank hard cider, and thought nothing
j of if. but Uncle Life was dead set
: against it. When lie came alone that
! day and saw the big barrel of cider
j that Mr. Quint had provided for re
j freshnient. he says, 'Hiram, your rnis
i lng would come on full as well, and
some chaps hero would be better off. i
j
j
j
j
j

!
j
if you would carry that cider down to j
the brook and dump it.'
"I saw Hiram wink at the hystand- j
; ers, and says he, 'I'm hardly strong |
j enough. But if you are,' says he, I
! 'you're at liberty to do it.'
j "'All right.' says Uncle Life, and he ■
j made for his blacksmith shop. In a ;
I few minutes hack he came, bringing a
j horseshoe that he had hammered out
j in such a way that he could make the !
I heel calks fit into the bunghole of the j
I barrel as it lay there on the ground. ;
j Then, with the horseshoe as a handle, j
; he lifted that barrel of cider as if it j
I had been a carpetbag and carried it i
j to the brook and emptied it."
"Now, if you will give me a chance,
j I should like to put in a word," said
Uncle Noah, with a show of impa

the raising of Hiram Quint's barn."
"I didn't know that you were

John Marvin's eyes sparkled. "So

i "Well, that hears out Cy's story, so
j far. 1 suppose the rest of it was
i equally correct. Uncle Noah?'
"No. it wasn't,' replied the old man
I emphatically; whereupon one of John

grim features.
"Now, I always try to he accurate."
said Cyrus, hitching uneasily ip his
cnair. "hut I was only a little shaver
